Rotersand
Two long-deleted studio albums by the German electronic act Rotersand are back in circulation. The Rotersand “Capitalism TM” album from 2016 and “How Do You Feel Today” from 2020 are available again on CD in their Metropolis Records US editions, the distributor Audioglobe announced. The original Trisol editions of both records had been sold out and deleted for years.
Rotersand ‘Capitalism TM’ and ‘How Do You Feel Today’: release history
“Capitalism TM”, Rotersand’s fifth studio album, was originally released on November 4, 2016 via Trisol and was the band’s first album since “Random Is Resistance” (2009). The 10-track record includes the single “Hey You”, which later lent its title to a full-length remix album. Side-Line covered the original release in 2016 (Rotersand finally hits back with new work: ‘Capitalism TM’) and reviewed it (Rotersand – Capitalism TM (CD Album – Trisol)).
“How Do You Feel Today”, the band’s sixth studio album, followed on March 13, 2020 via Trisol, issued both as a vinyl-plus-CD edition and as a regular CD; both editions sold out. The 11-track album contains “Hot Ashes”, “Whatever”, “Silence” and “Elements”, and was reviewed by Side-Line (Rotersand – How Do You Feel Today? (Album – Trisol / Metropolis Records)). The returning US edition is a digipak CD.
About Rotersand
Rotersand is a German electronic project formed in 2002 by singer Rascal Hüppe and musician/producer Gun, with producer and DJ Krischan J.-E. Wesenberg joining shortly after. The band’s sound is generally described as futurepop, while the members themselves refer to it as “industrial pop”. The debut album “Truth Is Fanatic” appeared in 2003, followed by “Welcome to Goodbye” (2005), “1023” (2007) and “Random Is Resistance” (2009); the first two were reissued in 2021.
After “Capitalism TM” (2016) and “How Do You Feel Today” (2020), the latter also reworked as the remix album “Reloaded (Reworks of How Do You Feel Today)” in August 2020, the band released its most recent studio album “Don’t Become The Thing You Hated” in 2025 via Metropolis and Trisol. Side-Line spoke with the band in a 2026 interview. The renewed availability of “Capitalism TM” and “How Do You Feel Today” closes a gap in the band’s catalogue that had persisted since the Trisol pressings sold out.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
